About the blog

This blog is about both scientific, societal/political, and yoga-related issues - individually and considered as different aspects of the same problem/solution. A longer description is found in the first blog entry, and all old posts are found in a structured way here. The blog is an extension of my main home pages yoga-link.se and isbgroup.eu.

politicsPosted by yoga-link.se Mar 20, 2013 02:12I have just written a long post on my facebook page, after having listened to a program on how illegal immigrants, in this case children, are living their life in Sweden. It is incredible listening, well-done investigative journalism, and almost impossible not to want to act afterwards. I have always believed in the yoga/pratyahara principle of observation transformation. Look at a problem, and truly see it, and it will transform you and itself in front of your eyes. Let's let a deep contemplation of this problem transform us into joyful action-oriented people! On this issue, much improvement can be done, and let's use all our available tools to do it!

And...regarding this: a very important action is to just get involved in what the structural problems in our global society are. An overview of some of the most important of these can be found in this important and easy-to-understand documentary, which I also watched earlier today.

And if you can read Swedish, the facebook post and links to more information and suggestions for actions can be found here.

About me

I am a yoga-teacher in the tantric tradition, but also a scientist, and an engaged citizen. Politically, I am engaged in e.g. democracy, internet freedom, human rights, alternative economic theories, and environmental issues. Scientifically, I am working with systems biology, and the study of complex systems on all levels (isbgroup.eu). Yoga-wise, I am teaching and interested in classical yoga, where you take a holistic view, and merge not only physical exercises with breathing exercises and meditation, but also those things with karma yoga (harmonious working), dancing, music, sex, and all the rest of it.
